In a special message this week, Bro. Alvin Del Rosario delves into Romans 15, emphasizing the importance of unity and harmony within the church for the glory of God. Using the metaphor of a choir, he explains how different members, like different vocal parts, must work together to create a beautiful sound. The discussion centers on the Apostle Paul’s teachings about welcoming one another and building each other up, moving beyond personal preferences to pursue a unified purpose. Ultimately, the message is a call for believers to set aside differences and join in one voice to glorify God.
Romans 15:1–7
15:1 We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 3 For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.” 4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 5 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, 6 that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7 Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
